| Most people today
spend a great part of their lives in dwellings and other interiors,
unlike people of only two or three generations ago. The question
of potential risks to health from our immediate living area
is thus becoming ever more important.
Healthy living can do a great deal to promote our psychic
and physical health and strength. Many influences that are
damaging to our strength and vitality that simply have to
be accepted in the contemporary working world, can be compensated
in our private living areas.
Insufficient attention was paid in the past to a health criteria
assessment of building materials as the problems that have
arisen with wood protection, asbestos and formaldehyde materials
have unfortunately demonstrated. As a result of the spread
of allergies and other diseases the level of sensibility to
building-biological living has grown enormously.
Tested and recommended by the
Institut
for Building Biology in Rosenheim, Germany (IBR)
tilo parquet floors have been awarded the test seal “recommended
by the IBR“ because they are set apart by their environmental
friendliness and using them results in no risks to health
whatsoever.
The test seal is proof that both the aspects of environmental
protection and of sound living and building biological criteria
are given full account in the manufacture and the use of these
products. It is an indicator for those products offering the
highest level of protection against anything that is detrimental
or damaging to the health.
The seal is valid for two years in each case. A new test must
be applied for before the expiry of the product for which
it was issued if use of the seal is to be continued.
The investigations needed for this testing were made in independent
institutes and laboratories. The factors examined included
radioactivity, microbiological effects, formaldehyde, biocides,
halogenised pesticides, heavy metals, the release of fine
dust, electrostatic behaviour, electrical and magnetic fields,
water vapour penetration and reaction to heat.
